The year is 2014. Intel just announced its Devil’s Canyon CPUs as a refresh of its Haswell architecture. The best CPU on the market is the Intel Core i7-4790K, and the best AMD has to offer is the AMD FX-8350. AMD is still massively behind what Intel has to offer, but AMD also offers a significantly cheaper CPU with comparable multi-threaded performance.
An industry leader and the best CPU for consumers, what changed?
